    Hi folks. I recently received my new laptop(yay!) with a quadro fx 2700m nvidia card in it. I tried to set-up rivatuner but I don't have the customize option. In fact, it's not coming up with the customize option. I was following Gophn's tutorial. It installed correctly, but I don't have the hardware monitoring options under the card or launcher set-up section.

    I tried to update the driver to see if that worked. It didn't. Any suggestions?

    I'm running vista-64bit, T9600 proc, 4gb ram.

    hmm.... I have not tried it with a Quadro yet... so I wouldn;t know.

    It should have a temp sensor on it... the thing to figure out is to see which software can read from it.

    Have you tried using HWmonitor to see if the Quadro's temp shows up... if not, then this could become difficult since the temp sensor might be a low level one that is only functional through the firmware (for controlling the fans to spin up when it hits a certain temp).

    the GPU temperature does show up on HWmonitor. I actually went looking for another program when this wasn't working. It's a shame since rivatuner seems like such a great program.

    I just installed SP2 for vista, think that would make any difference? Probably not right?

    Just tried Everest, this also seems to pick up the sensor information. Any ideas? Or should I just stick with what's working?
